According to the in­ vention, the system comprises reaction a vessel, vacuum connection and a an inlet and/or outlet connected to a gas flow loop connected to a heat exchanger and at least one fluid circulation device. Par­ ticularly, gas flow loop is arranged so as to allow gas circulation over the diamet­ er of the reaction vessel. The gas flow loop preferably includes a gas distribu­ tion device, such as a distribution plate.
